Hello everyone, hope all is well, sorry for no posts in a few days, have not been feeling well, I think it’s the sudden cold up here in the California mountains where I live. Will have our first snow on Monday, should be snowed in for about three days
…gotta love it.
Here are 7 more Do-Follow social sites for you link building efforts, and a couple of no-follows worth checking out. I have added these to the master list of 65+ Social Bookmark Sites.
Qassia – Do-Follow. PR5. This one is really great, 100% do-follow. At Qassia you have to add articles or snippets of content, they call “Intel” on any topic and at the end of each of those you get a do-follow backlink to the site of your choice. You can add your pre-published articles or original stuff and earn Qassia dollars. The content can even be a couple of paragraphs, nothing fancy is required.
Also, you can “Screen Intel” on member’s articles with a simple rating system and earn Qassia dollars that are used to make your content rank higher and get more link juice.
In the end you can distribute your Qassia dollars between all your sites depending on those websites or blogs you may want more link juice.
Megite – Do-Follow and easy submission.
Spotback – Do-Follow. PR5 – Spotback has cool widgets to add to your blogs and websites for rating your content, simple little star boxes (see mine at the end of the post). Readers do not have to leave your blog, once they rate it, it automatically goes to Spotback, COOL!! Also mouse over it and checkout how you can add tags without leaving the blog. Spotback has several options for widgets, as well as a WordPress plug-in.
Launch Feed – Do-Follow. PR4, no anchor text, just URL. This one only allows you to submit your site once, so you can pick home page or a subpage.
Go Zoof - Do-Follow - PR4 – This is one is good and is 100% do-follow.
Really Awesome People – Do Follow. PR2 @ $5 per link with your own custom personal page. This is Jim Kukral’s creation, not sure if it’s worth $5 but check it out and decide for yourselves.
No Follow Social Sites Worth Considering
Blogengage – No-Follow - PR3 – Blogengage is new but has some good traffic. Brian, the webmaster has also just added Adsense revenue sharing program, I think it’s 50/50. This one is easy submit with the browser bookmark button.
Wobblog – No Follow, but lots of traffic there, can give good exposure for your websites and blogs.
Kaboodle – No Follow. PR6. Shopping site links, lots of members, especially female, good traffic!
Earners Club – No Follow – IM/AM content only, still PR0 it’s fairly new but has some good traffic, brought me a few visitors to this blog.
2 Considerations for No-Follow Social Sites
1. Traffic – Some of them can bring lots of traffic like Stumble and Reddit and others are just a waste of time. This is something you have to determine on your own by testing, because some niches do really well on social sites and some just don’t!
2. Yahoo and MSN ignore the no-follow tag and so they are still worthwhile for backlinks with those search engines.
As a rule, I always submit to do-follow social sites for the links, but the no-follow sites I usually submit to on a case-by-case basis after some testing.
Happy Link Building!

Hi JR
Thanks for the great resources. Does Google view a comment link back from a PR5 with the same value as, for example, an anchor link in a post on a PR5 site? Can they tell the difference? ( I’m sure they can aren’t they omnipotent when it comes to the web? In fact I wonder if it is going to be changed from World Wide Web to Google Wide Web one of these days.)
Any way, thanks again for all the great information you have given me by reading your blog. This feeling of community is really great. I will give you a link from my PR0 blog which may or may not help you but as my mother always said, “It’s the thought that counts.”

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it, and thanks for all your contributions here . Overall, the best possible link you could ever get is a straight, do-follow within content either on a web page or a blog post. I am sure G can tell the difference and do-follow blog comments are still very valuable, but those within content links are golden, and a PR5 is of course great.
Thanks for the heads up on these!! I’ve been looking at more good do-follow ideas and these will certainly help a lot!

You’re spot on again with such relevant resources. I have used a few mentioned here but will check out the other do-follow ones you’ve recommended. Thanks for sharing.

Spot on with the info too. “Within content” links are 100fold more valuable then any other, even though the others are not to sneeze at.

I had used Qassia before and it is really a good place to build backlink. Haven’t really engage on the rest of the social sites that you have recommended and will take a look at it. Thanks for the share on the avenue to build backlink.

Another great list. I feel no follow and do follow back links both serve thier purpose. I use both but I will always go for do follow links before no follow back links.

Another “no follow” social site that I participate on a regular basis is called “Yelp” (www.yelp.com)……its been great in my local area (Northern CA) but as always YMMV (your mileage may vary) depending on the size of the metro area you’re located in.
[...] Most of us sit at home and pluck away at the iceberg, building websites, trying to rank our sites, build links, get traffic and of course make money. It is not easy, but many of us, including myself, love it [...]
Hi, I have been affiliate marketing for a few months now, as I used to work for (Y) and saw a few customers spending alot on PPc campaigns and were not making much of a return as there was alot of competition for specific keywords being targeted. I had the inside view and promoted my site for specific keywords that were not really in competition this proved to be quite successful. I would suggest to any new beginner at affiliation. If you find a product that is not quite promoted you have a good chance of hitting this quite well.
Cheers

@Dessie
Thanks for the tip!
If you can get it right Stumble and digg can give a unbelievable amount of traffic.
Hey, great list. I’ve got another DoFollow site you may have overlooked. Feel free to feature it in your next list
Jesse@SoLinkables last blog post..Redemption: CSS Layouts
No question in this competitive market, we need more than just a few “do-follow” links.
There are a lot of SEO tactics out there and proper linking is one of them.
thanks for this opprotunity,
